  Halfbakery: 2nd Person Shooter
In a 2nd person shooter video game, the player would control the guns, but see the action from the perspective of the person (monster?) he or she is shooting.
My idea for a cool 2nd person shooter (SPS) is that it is played as a third person shooter (TPS), but when you hit someone, it reverts into a 2nd person view, where the camera is located slightly behind the target and you see them being shot.
I think this whole 2nd person shooter thing would be a cool idea, but that it should not be mandatory to watch from the 2nd person perspective.

  Third-person shooter - Encyclopedia Gamia
A third-person shooter, at its core, is a video game in the shooting genre where the camera during gameplay is primarily focused in a third-person viewpoint.
Third person is a viewpoint where the player controls a character externally.
Unlike first-person shooters, where a player controls the character from the character's viewpoint, the camera is zoomed out of the character's "body", letting the player view the character in the game in full view.

 Spartanburg SC | GoUpstate.com | Spartanburg Herald-Journal
Third-person shooter (TPS or 3PS) is a genre of 3D computer and video games in which the player character is seen at a distance from a number of different possible perspective angles, as opposed to the first-person model in which the player views everything in the game world as if through their own eyes.
Owing to the general nature of the term, many games are placed outside of the third-person shooter genre because their style is covered by a more specific genre label.
The Resident Evil series, though it incorporated both third-person gameplay and shooting, was not considered a third-person shooter until Resident Evil 4; because of the emphasis on fear and survival, this was called survival horror.

 Definition: Shooter - daytrum - the technology guide for families
A shooter is a game that presents lots of violent fighting and shooting and depicts the action from the perspective of the characters-players "run" down halls and across landscapes and look around, just as if they are part of the action.
A first-person shooter presents the action from the perspective of the character-as if the player is looking through the eyes of the character.
A third-person shooter presents the action from behind the character, who is seen running, jumping and fighting from the back.

 Shooter games?
To be honest, I don't know what first person shooter is to third person shooter but as far as I can remember with medal of honor, you could see the army guy in front of you on the screen and you also control him.
Some other great first person shooters are killzone, Urban chaos riot responce, call of duty series, medal of hounor series, fl, ghost recon series (I liked them but for some reason most of the reviews were horrible on it for the ps2), time splinter series, darkwatch andarea 51.
There are a lot more good first person shooters but can't think of any right now but you can always go to http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?type=...owse;category;9 and search for ps2 first person shooter's and a whole bunch of games will come up.

 Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror | The A.V. Club
Personally I can't play a dozen games which are only slight variations on each other (say military-ish FPSes like Call of Honor and Medal of Duty); although I might enjoy the first one I play, anything further strikes me as redundant and boring.
And if you personally think there are too many of them, you're right, for a given, very personal value of "right" at the least.

It combines the shooting elements of the First Person Shooter with the jumping and climbing puzzles of a 3D platformer and a simple melee fighting system from a brawler.
Third Person Shooter games almost always incorporate an aim-assist feature, since aiming from a third-person camera is difficult.
Most also have a first person view, which allows for precise shots and looking around at environment features that are otherwise hidden from the default camera.

 UGO.com Games - Black9 preview of the third-person shooter/RPG from Taldren and Majesco
Though it will be possible for players to kill many of their enemies a la traditional shooter titles, gamers will also be able to engage in a skill-based system that will build up your mercenary-like character.
Not only will you get to play through the game in co-op with a real, live person at your side, but you'll also get to play co-op with another person online (in case your buddy can't lug his lazy ass over to your house).
Black9's deep RPG elements and promising third-person shooter gameplay is showing potential, while the graphics and multiplayer modes look like they could be better.

 IGN Boards - Is Ghost first or third person?
IGN's preview labeled it in the "third-person shooter" genre, and none of the screenshot's I've seen have the traditional first-person gun-toting view.
Which has dramatic implications for those who are saying "it's gunna suck, all fps suck on console" which is in part true.
Its a third person game, as is clearly visible from the screens (and Blizzard's website..), and it's tactical action, similiar to MGS (But obviously, with Starcraft themes, special abilities, calling down strikes, ect)

 Applelinks.com: Review - Hexen II and Heretic II
In Hexen II, you play one of four character classes (although the only difference in game play is what weapons or spells you use) as a lone warrior trying to save the world from being overtaken by the last Serpent Rider, Eidolon.
It's a first person shooter, but instead of large guns you get hammers, axes, repeating crossbows, and magic spells.
While Hexen II boasts some clever level design, it's only separated from today's shooters by the quality of its graphics, which can seem positively campy at times, they're so retro.
